Unlearning tabooPeter Purg, 2023, artistic work
Abstract: Along the TTT 2023 programme, the performer selected and remixed fragments of both
artworks (installations and performances) as well as discursive contributions in a
way that corresponds to the principles of Bertolt Brecht’s “Lehrstücke,” the so-called
learning or teaching pieces that deconstruct and expose the mechanisms of (power)
relationships inherent to the (media/art) system in question.
Provoking both rational and irrational perspectives, possibilities of (un)learning through
acting, playing roles, adopting postures etc. was explored, dissolving (or at least
questioning) the divide between authors and audiences, both invited (in Brechtian terms)
to acquire attitudes rather than to consume an entertainment.
Keywords: unlearning, deconstruction, roleplay, participative performance, transgressive formats
